    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    Promotion platform for African films.

    SYNOPSIS
    PAVILLON AFRIQUES is an initiative aimed at promoting the film industry from Africa and its diaspora in the world’s most glamorous festival and biggest film market.

    Africa has been trendy for a few years, without really getting its fair share of the industry. The idea is to make it a stronghold in the film industry.Pavillon Afriques’ mission is to provide an open access to resources which are seldom accessible to filmmakers from developing film markets, while giving an opportunity to the participating African countries to present their potential to the world at the Cannes Film Festival.

    Located in one of the elegant white tents in the Village International, its inaugural edition took place in 2019 and was labelled “the busiest pavilion”. After a gap year in 2020 due to the pandemic and an online 2021 edition where participants came from 64 countries over 5 continents, 2022 was the confirming year, in Cannes.

    3,350 attendees from 56 countries, including 20 African countries. 2 African Ministers of Culture and 1 Minister of Tourism presented their countries as shooting destinations. 3 projects found financing during a pitch session (more in negotiation). 52 events. 76 speakers.

    After 3 successful editions, Pavillon Afriques is recognized as the gateway to Africa and attracts professionals worldwide who want to do business with Africa.

    The Film Collaborative (TFC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing programs and services for independent filmmakers. TFC’s federal tax ID number is 32-0295081. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

    Support a TFC Fiscal Sponsorship Project

    Please help support this project with a tax deductible contribution. The “donate” button below will take you to PayPal, but a PayPal account is not required to make a donation. You can check out 2 ways:

    1. Use your PayPal account
    2. Check out as a guest by selecting “Donate with a Debit or Credit Card” (no PayPal account is required)

    Transaction Fee

    Please consider covering the PayPal transaction fee by selecting the “I’d like to add to my donation to help offset the cost of processing” box on the next page. This will ensure your intended full donation amount will be received for the project.

    Alternate Donation Payment Methods

    If you prefer to donate by check, Zelle, ACH, or wire transfer, please email us for instructions.

    Stock Donations

    TFC accepts stock donations. By donating stock that has appreciated for more than a year, you are giving 20% more than if you sold the stock and then made a cash donation, since you will not pay capital gains taxes on the donated stock. Learn more here.

    Please email us for instructions to donate stock to a fiscally sponsored project.

    Donor Advised Fund (DAF) Donations

    A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. TFC accepts DAF donations and is on file with most major DAF companies. Provide your DAF TFC’s Tax ID: 32-0295081. If we are already on file with your DAF company, they will process the donation.

    If TFC is not already on file with your DAF company, please email us for instructions.

    Tax Receipts

    In compliance with IRS rules, tax receipts for your charitable gift are issued for the amount The Film Collaborative receives after payment processor fees are deducted. The Film Collaborative emails tax receipts in PDF format within 30 days of your online donation. The “receipt” that is immediately sent to you from PayPal after you donate is just a payment receipt, not the tax receipt.

    Matching Donations

    Many companies have matching gift programs and can help you double your donation to a project of your choosing. Sometimes these programs will match a donation up to a year after it was originally made! Check with your employer—if they have a matching gift program, they will provide you with instructions.

    End of Year Giving

    November, December, and January are big giving months each year. Donors top up their annual giving in November and December. January is a new fiscal year, and some donors start their giving for the next fiscal year early. Some donors even give at the end of the year and again in January since these donations fall into different fiscal years.

    Donors tend to make their large year-end donation decisions before the holidays start. In 2024, that means before December 20. TFC can accept donations by wire, ACH, and Zelle until 5:00pm Eastern Time on December 31. Online donations by credit or debit card can be made until 11:59pm Pacific Time on December 31.
